I enjoy the photo so much that I had to make an individual post just for it. Nate has one of the best skate styles ever and it always showed through in photos, too.

It's surreal to think about how much representation has increased between when this article was published and now. Check out Womxn Skateboarding History to get a much deeper & thorough look into the history of girls & women in skateboarding, all the way back from the 1960s to present day.
